History's Worst Battles: Death in the Desert: The Horns of Hattin
<p>No battle arguably had more consequences in the Middle East than a confrontation between the Crusader states and Saladin in 1187 at the Horns of Hattin. United in their hatred for Muslims, characters like Reynald de Chatillon antagonized trade caravans and Muslim holy sites. Their actions mobilized the Sultan of Egypt and Syria, Saladin, who baited the large Crusader army into battle where the desert heat inflicted a harsh toll on their enemies. Saladin used the political infighting between the Crusaders to his advantage and ultimately crushed the Crusaders and leaving the lands undefended. Within four months of their victory, Saladin recaptured almost every Crusader stronghold, including Jerusalem and fought off the Third Crusade. </p>

The Immortal Memory of Robert Burns
<p>Today's episode is a brief biography of one of the most notable Romantic era poets, Robert Burns. Born in 1759 to a poor Scottish farming family, Burns' life experiences and gift for prose made him a talented poet whose works covered a variety of themes. He wrote about nature, religion, and his liberal views made him a symbol for the struggles faced by the common man. His egalitarian style and message for political liberty and equality made him both loved and loathed by his contemporaries. Today, his poetic legacy lives on in Scottish descendants around the world honoring him with Burns Dinners and preserving his poetry. If you've ever sung Auld Lang Syne on New Year's Eve, you're carrying on the legacy of Robert Burns.</p>
